"The video, filmed by Mortensen, appears to show Paul hitting, grabbing and throwing three barstools at him. A child can be heard crying on the couch nearby."
"Paul's representative called the video the 'latest installment of [Mortensen's] never-ending, desperate, attention-seeking, destructive campaign to harm Taylor without any regard for the consequences for their child.'"
"Mortenesen told Entertainment Weekly that he categorically denies 'these baseless claims about me and our relationship,' calling it 'a deeply upsetting situation.'"
